EVENT SCHEDULE

MORNING SESSIONS

Work is a space filled with God’s presence and He has the desire to form us there. The problem is that we get busy and forget that He is near. Or we work for Him rather than with Him. Or we’ve never been taught to abide in Christ at work. Our morning sessions and breakouts will answer those challenges and focus on how to experience God at work.

8:30am-12:00pm

Experiencing God in the Grand Story of Work – The Sacredness of Secular Work

Experiencing God in our Personal Journey of Work

The Church’s Role in Experiencing God at Work – Becoming a community that fosters the sacredness of work

Breakouts

12:00pm-12:45pm - Lunch (provided)

AFTERNOON SESSIONS

Throughout the afternoon we will hear stories of people joining God at and through their everyday, ordinary work. Our speakers and panelists will share insights and transferable principles on how you can collaborate with God regardless of your role or industry.

12:45pm-3:45pm

Joining God Over the Long Haul – Keys to longevity

The Benefit of Hindsight - Looking back at where we joined with God and where we may have missed it

Joining God By Serving Our Employees – Investing in laborers and tradespersons

Speakers

Stay tuned for more speaker announcements! Our speakers represent a wide range of industries, geographies and areas of expertise, but they all share two critical characteristics. First, each of them are dedicated to experiencing God at work. Second, they are actively looking for opportunities to join God wherever they see Him at work. These aren’t theorists. They are practitioners doing their best to live out the sacredness of their work every day just like you.
